Fierce Men of the West.

At the September election of 1851 a
crowd was gathered, in front of a saloon
at Granite Basin, a mining town in
California. smoking. drinking, and
entertaining each other with rude jests
lates H. H. Bancroft in Popular
Tribunals" stood a hard-visaged,
cross-grained man, but withal honest
and industrious. He had gained the
ill-will of his fellows by his unsocIal
and morose manner rather than by any
real wrong-doing. As the crowd be-
came excited by liquor their CONVEX
sation turned upon this man, and one
story followed another accusing him
of falsehood and of other evil ways.
Hearing his name used he drew
pocket-knife and stabbed one or two
men, each of whom was more power
full than himself. Several wounds
were inflicted, but none of serious
nature. Maddened at the sight of
blood the crowd rushed upon him,
threw him down and pounded him
savagely. But this was not enough;
binding him to chair they hurried
him off to hang him to the nearest tree.
extenuating circumstances would be
considered, nor would they listen to
his prayer for trial by jury. Reach
ing suitable place, they released him
from the chair and stood him beneath
an oak tree, Then tying one end of a
rope round his neck and throwing the
other end over limb, twenty strong
men took hold with will and awaited
the signal. At that critical moment
three men stepped forward. One
drew a knife and severed the rope,
while the others faced the crowd.
There was quiet but bloody resolution
in their eyes, and the half-drunken
hangmen saw it and wavered. For six
hours they faced each other until cool
er reason returned to the maddened
men, and they gradually dispersed,
leaving the law to dispose of the case
in less summary manner.
But the miners are not always so
hasty in administering what they call
justice. A travelling Frenchman re-
lated that on reaching Hawkins bar
he saw a Mexican tied to the trunk of
a tree and surrounded by a crowd.
The culprit was stripped to the waist.

and ftirrup straps were whipping him
by turns. His offense, they said, was
the murder of bedfellOw. Though
hls back was covered with blood and
his face was deadly pale, with charac-
teristic stoicism the Mexican uttered
no complaint, but held the end of a
cigar between his clinched tectt., as if
in defiance of fate. Two hours later,
on entering a tavern, the Frenehman
was surprised to see the same man at
q table with his eXecutioners drinking
gin and whisky. He supposed the
affair ended; but the same evening he
found the Mexican hanging from the
branch of an oak. Out of compassion
for the wretch's suffering the judges
had taken the means of deadening his
pain before they hanged him.

One winter evening, not many years
ago, at Doylestown, Pa, three young
lawyers were seated at table in the
law library room playing cards. One
of them had recently been admitted to
practise law, and during the evening
be frequently used the expression.
1T is me" The incorrectness of the
phrase grated upon the ears of the
other two lawyers, and at last one
said: Joseph, don't you know you
are frequently saying, 1t is me. when
you are well aware that you should
say, 1t is I?"
He replied, Jacob. know should
say, 1t is l., but l say it Incorrectly
from habit"
Jacob said, II think I can aid you in
saying it correctly, if you will only
commit to memory the rhyme, 1t is /,
said the spider to the fly"
.'Wel, that would aid me, l admit,
said Joseph, ''if had not committed
another rhyme when boy"
Inquired Jacob, We'll, what is
thatP'
Joseph said, 1T Is me, said the
spider to the flea. '"-Harper's Bazar.

He was an orphan, and had no near
connection living. He made enquiries
for Mr.. Myers, but no one knew of his
whereabouts. About Hve years before
he came TO the city, and settled, never
expecting to see her again.
But now, Elsie, l find you once
more, and do not mean to let you 90,
if will of mine can keep you. The
love that was kindled in my heart for
you twenty years ago burns just as
bright to-day VIII you come, and let
the remaining years Of our life be spent
together"
That Mrs. Merle's answer wes salts
factory is proved by the fact that the
brown stone fronted house of Hugh
Denvers soon had mistress, and as
Nellie said:
Mother, we did plunge all al once
into the good old times, didn't we?"

The Owl.
There Is mo- ffame of snnset on the hin.

lutfe Is no Uusn OF twilight IN Ine plh!n.
Inc day Il dead, the wind "a weird and shrlll:
Amid the gloom the sheeted shapes of rain
Glide TO and fro with stealthy feet and still,
And wilder than the woods autumnal moan
A voice walls through the night, Alone,
alone"
No bird dips down q moment in its fight
To Al the silence full OF sudden song;
The immemorial music Of the night.
When stars are few and twilight fingers
Is hushed; with lone, sharp sound of wintry
blight
The cricket quavers near tho sheltered
And hark! the haunting cry, Alone, alonew
Wan mists on level marsh and meadow rise,
Like spectral lakes along whose cloudy
CLEANS
Dark boat. are driven, unseen of mortal eyes,
Toward some dim coast some tnland-vale Of
dreams,
While on this desolate shore some watcher
cries
To friends afar IN the remote unknown,
Lamenting through the gloom, Alone, alone"
The boughs are shaken In the bitter sky
With hollow sound Of trouble anG amaze:
And faster in the dusk the dead leaves fly.
Like palid ghosts pursued through lonely
ways;
Darkly watch them az they shudder by,
W Whilo yet again In mOurnful monotone
The voice repeats my thought, "Alone, alonev
Night deepens on the haggard close OF day
With wilder clamor of the wind and rain;
Louder the beaten branches grOan and sway;
And f1tfully the voice comes once again,
Across the fields, more faint and far away
Is 1t the dark birds waiing backward blown,
Or my own heart that cries, alone, alonep'

DDUOCR1TIC BR1GGTNG.

Our neighbor. "Thc SUM-" refulgcnt from its
recent successes in our local dcctlon, Is too
hilarious over n misquotation. 1t is hereby adj
yised that Tue TRIBUNE has never expressed
the opinion that "as goes Ncw-fork so the
Presidential election must GO" On the con-
trary, THE TRIBUNE has always cndcavorcd
to make it clear that while the Democratic
party could not reasonably hope to win without
the electoral vote Of this state the RcpuDlicans
have a more than equal chance of success even
if they should lose Newly ork. They have
good reason to expect success in every Northern
State outside Of Ncw-l York, Connecticut and
Ncw-Jerscy; without either Of these the vote
of any Southern state would then give them
a majority, and they have an excellent prospect
of carrying several; and meanwhile, the pros
pcct of success in each Of the doubtful Northern
States is not To be dcspiScd.
But the Republican party always does its best
work when il is convinced that the chances are
doubtful or desperate. 1t is always nearest de-
feat when it has most confidence of success.
If the Democratic journals Will kindly keep
up their prctcncc Of certainty regarding the
next Presidential election, they will give the
Republican party precisely the stimulus that it
most needs. In that case it will put forth the
effort necessary to command the new voters in
the doubtful states and will astonlSh It's oppo-
ncnts by its vote next year.
